stupid ability leading to bad gameplay. If you aren't one one of the classes with detect hidden, you're relegated to holding your dick in your hand for hours when there's an assassin hunting you.

<bitch&moan> Assassinate is an unfun skill, unless you're an assassin, with little to no counterplay </bitch&moan> nt	dalneko	November 12, 2015 01:09PM
Actually...the only unfun skill in the game is sleep. Not the spell, the actual command. NT	Sam	November 12, 2015 08:50PM
scarab powers fix that. nt	Isildur(VIP)	November 12, 2015 09:43PM
Huh?	daurwyn(VIP)	November 12, 2015 10:48PM
talking about the power that sends nasty dreams. nt	Isildur(VIP)	November 13, 2015 05:01AM
As he said, it's got a wicked long cooldown	torak(VIP)	November 13, 2015 08:39AM
not saying its overpowered. just that it makes sleeping "interesting". nt	Isildur(VIP)	November 13, 2015 09:06AM
Clearly you don't know what he's referencing. I agree with Isildur. n/t	jalim	November 13, 2015 12:57AM

I've always found I dislike things that kill me and like things I can get kills with. (n/t)	Zruulg	November 12, 2015 02:46PM
It's not fun as an assassin either. (n/t)	Murphy	November 12, 2015 01:11PM
I kind of got a rush out of it. nt	Isildur(VIP)	November 12, 2015 01:47PM
I liked assassination until I figured it out	daurwyn(VIP)	November 12, 2015 11:35PM
Being too careful is tiresome	Kstatida	November 13, 2015 12:51AM
It's just about things like crossing water	daurwyn(VIP)	November 13, 2015 07:57AM
This. (n/t)	wrathpuppet	November 12, 2015 01:29PM
Discuss, or no? PSA? Flee is also unfun, and EVERYONE gets that. (n/t)	Frosty	November 12, 2015 01:11PM
Flee has counter play though. Assassinate has no counter play if the assassin is even half decent. STALK STALK STALK STALK. nt	dalneko	November 12, 2015 01:37PM
Just wrong	daurwyn(VIP)	November 12, 2015 10:51PM
I don't mind being attacked suddenly, but I object to being killed suddenly.	Murphy	November 13, 2015 12:10AM
All of this ^. Instant death is dumb. At least with AP cleave and PWK you see the threat coming. If you're not a duergar you will never see the assassin. Especially if they have Smoke and Mirrors edge. nt	dalneko	November 13, 2015 03:38AM
I think it's a good idea for everyone to TRY and rush an assassin to 35 and see how NOT easy it is to just rack up assassinates left and right.	Frosty	November 13, 2015 05:34AM
it's easy.	alex	November 13, 2015 06:51AM
Lets see the logs of dozens of assassinates you've racked up so easily. n/t (n/t)	orbain	November 16, 2015 03:22AM

Slow clap (n/t)	orbain	November 16, 2015 04:08AM
You say that about everything. You're also a liar. (n/t)	Frosty	November 13, 2015 08:06AM
Convicted? (n/t)	wrathpuppet	November 13, 2015 08:10AM
Well he can't wear pants anymore. I know that much.	Frosty	November 13, 2015 08:12AM
Easier than bash? (n/t)	wrathpuppet	November 13, 2015 07:07AM
Thoughtless bash will put you to death more often than not	alex	November 13, 2015 08:02AM
Nobody said it was easy. Just that it makes me not want to play. (n/t)	Murphy	November 13, 2015 05:51AM
It was implied. (n/t)	Frosty	November 13, 2015 06:31AM
Nope, stop putting words into my mouth. Assassinating can be difficult and yet it still ruins the fun for me. I don't like to have to worry about unseen threats constantly. (n/t)	Murphy	November 14, 2015 04:34AM
CF = a life of constant threats. Man up, or take off hoser.	Frosty	November 14, 2015 10:07AM
Lol, paranoia is not manly at all. I'll just play a duerg.	Murphy	November 14, 2015 02:42PM
And there you go, problem solved. No need to jump on the lets-bitch-and-moan-about-assassins bandwagon. :)	Frosty	November 14, 2015 06:03PM
Yay, Duergar Fields.	MiyagiYojimbo	November 14, 2015 06:13PM
next month is paladin alley	Quas	November 14, 2015 08:03PM
Wrath vuln is a problem I can deal with. It doesn't make me want to not play. Besides, with phoenix brand you get wrath vuln anyway. (n/t)	Murphy	November 15, 2015 06:05PM
There are more solutions than just rolling duergars. I don't like being insta-killed either. I also don't like being pk'd, but they all drive me to be a better player, and have. (n/t)	Frosty	November 14, 2015 06:18PM
It's about choosing a solution that I'm comfortable with. (n/t)	Murphy	November 15, 2015 06:07PM
And that should be a possiblity, because there is a plethora of solutions to choose from. (n/t)	Frosty	November 16, 2015 06:55AM
It's not easy.	wrathpuppet	November 13, 2015 05:48AM
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw? NT	Sam	November 12, 2015 08:51PM
No. n/t	jalim	November 12, 2015 02:34PM
Assassinate DOES have a counter, difference in terrain. And if someone assassinates you on water, shame on your for not having detect invis up. (n/t)	Frosty	November 12, 2015 01:53PM
Many counters, shit there is detect hidden in the game	zoskia	November 12, 2015 01:56PM
Also edges, legacies, skills, supplications, spells that reduce assassinate chances. (n/t)	KoeKhaos	November 12, 2015 02:43PM
Reducing chances does nothing because they can try again and again until they succeed. Unless you are of a very specific build that can kill them more reliably than assassination kills you. (n/t)	Murphy	November 13, 2015 12:14AM
Not really	daurwyn(VIP)	November 14, 2015 02:46AM
Care to elaborate? Let's say I'm a dwarf warrior, flail/mace, with gates and cry of thunder. How do I reduce their chances so low that they abandon the idea of assassinating me? (n/t)	Murphy	November 14, 2015 04:38AM
This isn't perfect, but...	wrathpuppet	November 14, 2015 05:53AM
Nothing more reliably kills me than bash/cranial/stupidity...	KoeKhaos	November 13, 2015 04:35AM
In situations where both want to fight, yes, cranial is more deathful. I was speaking of a specific situation: chances are you're not killing an assassin who immediately flees after a failed assassinate. Meaning they can try again and again with little ri (n/t)	Murphy	November 13, 2015 04:54AM
